Apps That Give Buyers A Vision of Their Home

Continuing our series on mobile apps that can help real estate agents out in the trenches, here are a couple that are especially helpful when working with buyers.

We all have our strengths and weaknesses… and not all buyers have the ability to see past rooms of a home as they exist, to what they have the potential to actually BE. The iLiving app can help your clients visualize a space in a different light. It allows you to take a photo of a room and place furniture into the room to see what the space looks like with new furniture and layouts. It’s currently available for iPhone®, though rumor has it an Anroid® version is in the works.

Or if you’ve ever struggled with helping your buyer get past a horrible paint color, the ColorSmart by BEHR® app will be your new favorite tool. Simply take a photo of a room and the app will virtually paint the walls for you. No more trying to imagine; this app will allow your buyers to see a room in colors THEY love, providing you the capability to decorate a room image digitally with touch-and-tap technology and preview color on walls, trim and accents.

The ColorSmart by BEHR Mobile application is available as a free download in both the Android Market and Apple iTunes® App Store.

Both apps can help you overcome buyers reluctance about a potentially great home for them, by providing them a glimpse of it as “their” home.
